SynopsisLori Rebenitsch, Lisa Rebenitsch and Rohan Loveland, Key Features, Provides a complete course package, leading to the actual development of a publishable final project game, Through annual content updates, maintains currency in both the virtual reality materials and the assumed background of the student, Minimizes required starting time for professors and educators, A Practical Introduction to Virtual Reality is written for the undergraduate computer science student taking a course in virtual reality. This tutorial-based text is organized so that by the end of the semester students will have created their first virtual reality game, including sound and various interactions. The materials are written from the position of the student and the student's professor as opposed to the professional with prior graphics experience. Beginning with an introductory chapter covering the 10 universal basics necessary for virtual reality coding, the book moves on to topics such as putting together a virtual reality setup, creating Heads Up displays, building scene trees, learning how to import three-dimensional models and animations, lighting and audio, and more. By the end of the book, students will have a final project game ready for beta testing and publishing!, A Practical Introduction to Virtual Reality: From Concepts to Executables is written for the undergraduate computer science student taking a course in virtual reality.
